The QRI-5 assesses word identification, fluency, and comprehension. It is also used to identify a student’s reading level in grades Pre-K-12. It also gives information about conditions under which students can identify words and comprehend text successfully. The purpose of using the QRI5 is to provide valuable diagnostic information. The diagnostic information can be used to group students for guided reading sessions, reading workshops, and independent reading, or to choose appropriate books for literacy circles . The QRI-5 can guide intervention instruction based on data. Finally, the QRI-5 can be used to measure and record student growth. I have seen similar assessment activities like the QRI5. The E-CLAS also has graded word lists and various passages used to assess reading ability. I have a great impression of the QRI5. I believe that it’s a great tool to use to plan great implicit instruction. The miscue analysis will guide your intervention approach and leaves little room for wasted time or misdirection.
Thank you for mentioning about Early Childhood Literacy Assessment System (eCLAS). It is very similar to DIBLES, which we will address later in this class. Here are more resources if anyone interested in learning further the resources. Like I said, you will see many reading assessment tools named differently, but the essential parts of the assessments can go far from what we are learning in these two courses.
